The generation of electricity from water is the most effective and the cheapest way to get energy. The pico scale renewable energy is to bring electricity to remote villages that are not near transmission lines. In hydropower plant water turbine is one of the most important parts to generate electricity. The main purpose of this project is to develop the living standard in rural areas and to reduce the use of non-renewable energy. In this research paper, 1 kW pelton turbine design is based on head and flow rate of Department of Research and Innovation. The available head and flow rate are 10 m and 0.02 m3/sec. The pelton turbine is a tangential flow impulse turbine. There are two main components of this turbine namely, runner and nozzle. A 1 kW medium head hydro concrete turbine is constructed in Taung Da Gone Industrial 3 at Yangon. The pelton turbine project was tested at Department of Research and Innovation.
